So the Galaxy S10 fell about 1 foot and has a small crack in the top right corner. It's not major but the glass appears to be coming off 1mm at a time.

 

Is there a product I could apply to stop more glass from coming off ?

 

Superglue?

You _might_ be able to get away with putting a screen protector over the top but I suspect the correct answer is a screen replacement.





I'm a geek, a gamer, a dad, a Quic user, and an IT Professional. I have a full rack home lab, size 15 feet, an epic beard and Asperger's. I'm a bit of a Cypherpunk, who believes information wants to be free and the Net interprets censorship as damage and routes around it. If you use my Quic signup you can also use the code R570394EKGIZ8 for free setup.

Rather than superglue, I'd go for clear epoxy. Superglue needs the two surfaces to have glue on them, and to touch. Epoxy can fill voids, if you can get it in the cracks.

Edit: You might want to think about screen replacement before gluing. After gluing, you might not be able to.

Superglue will also leave the white residue all over the place around the area you're trying to bond when it dries which would be the worst thing for a phone.

Fully Agree with the above - not only does superglue not stick to glass very well, it can melt nearby plastic which just makes repair harder/more expensive or leave permanently scares on the case.

Put it in rice and then stick it in the airing cupboard for a month.
